2) After watching the TED talk video, Adam Foss gave a clear understanding of why the criminal justice system needs to be reformed. Issues that are occurring is that the prosecutors are punishing people harshly and not giving them the opportunity to get back on their feet or work. The chances of criminals getting punished outcomes in them getting in trouble again and again. In most cases, the prosecutors focus on the crime that occurred and won’t look into the background of the defendant. Punishing these criminals will turn out to be a bad outcome to the community because they will come out and commit a crime again because they have nothing else to live for because they feel like they waste their life in prison anyways. One major issue we have is that we spent 80 billion dollars on prisons to maintain the prisons however, we can use that money to help those criminals to change their lives instead of ruining them. If prosecutors are apart of creating the problem, it is our part to find a solution to help those who are being punished for the crimes they committed to help them get back on their feet and become civilians again.N
